The Basco Digital Iontophoresis device is a medical apparatus designed primarily to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the hands, feet, and underarms. It provides a safe, drug-free, and non-surgical solution by passing a mild electrical current through tap water to temporarily block the sweat glands.
It features a bright digital display that allows physicians or patients to easily monitor and adjust the output current.
- Current Delivery: Electrodes are placed in shallow pans containing enough water to cover the palms or soles. A continuous low-level electrical current is passed through the water.
- Sweat Reduction: The gentle electrical current and natural minerals in the water temporarily disable the sweat ducts, providing relief.
- Treatment Time: A typical session lasts about 1015 minutes, and the device often includes a polarity reversing switch to ensure each side receives equal treatment.
